Schultj,
Use this as a learning opportunity. If your HR is really experienced then he probably has some key or something that he uses to judge what he's going to do. Ask about it. The only way you're going to learn is to go and find out.
The QB is also an elgible blocker after the ball goes so there could be defensive holding too depending on what's happening. When I get to play in the white hat I count a full second before even thinking about a flag on those plays (er...I say 'Saskatchewan' slowly but whatever). If the DE is still holding on and the play is long gone I tell him to let go...
You really shouldn't have seen that though - your key should have been on the ball carrier - get your hand in the air so your HR knows you've got the carrier and he can focus on cleanup behind the play (or are we the only association using that mechanic??).
Also, think back on that play...there wasn't a forward handoff was there?
